condensation from AC vents

Were out in some 80's with very high humidity.
Ran AC and it did a good job.
Noticed condensation at every vent (ducted) and around the main unit.
Also noticed condensation on ceiling along where the ducking runs for the vents.
Are these things not insulated well or do I have a problem?

With high moisture content, the water is going to condense anywhere the temperature is less than the dew point. So I think what you're seeing is "normal." You might want to use the vents directly on the AC unit until the AC brings the humidity level down.

It's normal. Mine does it on really humid days. it just means you're getting some nice cold air.

Isn't that why we buy campers? So we have something to worry about when we're trying to relax? That's how it goes for me!
